As an educator deeply engaged in my local community, I actively contribute my expertise to various boards. My commitment extends beyond education, as I am an active member of the Freemasons and participate in multiple civic and fraternal organizations. My passion for historical research is evident in my exploration of family ancestry, particularly delving into the significant roles played by relatives who were Freemasons or served in various wars. I have meticulously documented my findings during travels through the Appalachian Mountains and the Southern regions, focusing on surnames such as Brown, Byers, Carringer, Coffey, Hawkins, Henson, Hogg, Hogue, Hooper, Hyatt, Isbister, Ivester, Jenkins, Long, Mull, Murphy, Sherlin, Shook, Townsend, and Townson.
